About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of a new social media ban for children with insights from home-educated children.

The new social media ban is causing a bit of a kerfuffle online so we thought we'd discuss it with two of our home ed children. Buckle up for some big opinions and do share yours in a comment wherever you're listening to this or join our live podcast this Friday at 10.30am on all our social media channels (yes, we feel the irony!). This podcast is a labour of love, and time and energy and commitment and lots of coffee!
